Safety regulations
!
This international symbol indicates important messages concerning safety. When
you see the symbol, be aware of a possible injury to yourself or to other persons and
read attached instructions carefully.
!
The machine operator must be over
18 years of age
.
He (she) is obliged
to get
familiar with the instructions for use of the machine and is supposed to be informed of
general principles of work safety.
!
Prior to carrying out any activities in the near vicinity of the machine, switch the
engine off and wait until the string head stops moving! Before leaving the machine
alone, switch off the engine!
!
Don’t stop the running out string head by pushing it to the ground (e.g. lifting the
rear machine part by pulling on the handlebars).
!
When the string head runs out, hold the handlebars firm so that the machine could not
move to the side due to the friction of support disk on the surface!
!
Never let the engine running at maximum speed or idling for a long time with the
string head drive clutch and travel wheel drive clutch being switched off! Components
of the machine drive (V-belt, belt pulley, clutch pulley, etc.) might be damaged!
! Prior to each employment of the machine
, check its parts (working mechanism or
its casing in particular) for possible damage or loosening. Possible
defects
must be
rectified immediately
. Repairs are to be made only with the original spare parts.
!
Before using the machine, the stand must be cleared of solid bodies such as stones,
wires, loose construction debris, etc., which could be flinging up or which might
damage the machine. If these cannot be removed, don’t work the places to prevent
impacts on the working tool and its premature wear or destruction.
!
The machine is equipped with a rotating working tool. Maximum circumferential
speed is
136
m.sec
-1
. Therefore, see to it that other persons move at a safe distance from
the machine when it is in operation with regard to a possibility of working tool
segments (string), mown grass or small solid objects occurring in the stand (stones, tree
and shrub residues) flying to sides!
!
When the machine is in operation, all other persons (children in particular) and
animals have to be outside the machine’s working space. The machine operator can
continue working only after they have been shown out to a
safe
distance.
!
Machine operators should wear tight-fitting garments, sturdy shoes and working
gloves!
